Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a 2017 American action-adventure comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan and written by Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner. The film is the third in the Jumanji film series and a direct sequel to Jumanji (1995). The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, Rhys Darby and Bobby Cannavale.
The story focuses on a group of teenagers who come across Jumanji, now transformed into a video game roughly two decades after the original film's events. They find themselves trapped inside the game as a set of adult avatars, seeking to complete a treacherous quest alongside another player who has been trapped in it since recovering and playing it in 1996. The film contains notable references to the first film as a tribute to its lead actor, Robin Williams. Principal photography began in Honolulu in September 2016 and ended in Atlanta in December.
